[Feature Request] Support {\an8} SRT subtitle tag

+1

 

I am asking for this feature again
Zidoo - why don't you do anything about it ...

 

Rather than do nothing while we wait I convert to .ass takes couple of minutes in Subtitle edit

 

Please, we need this feature

 

came to this thread just to wonder it’s not implemented yet
it's indeed a bit annoying.

 

With the new audio and other models taking centre stage at the moment I doubt if this will ever be implemented especially as there are more serious issues, for some, to be addressed. If it really bugs you then simply converting the file to .ass fixes the problem. Takes a few minutes.

 

This post is from 2022 and now it's 2024 and nothing has been done by Zidoo
however this little 'Red Hen' (see old cartoon series) has solved the problem for me at least.
I simply load the srt into Subtitle Edit and save as .ass
My god! it takes me 20 seconds! Shouldn't have to do it but I'd rather a home made solution than no solution. Subtitle Edit also has a bulk mode.

 

The issue is that this would occur in internal subs too. So another step would be needed there to extract with mktoolnix(or similar program) if you dont have a external sub...

I don't know why this isnt implemented yet because subtitles are so damn important.

 

Holy sh*t! Is anybody here can confirm me that converting STR to ASS internal subtitle makes those tags working with Zidoo?

 

You need to extract the srt sub from the MKV and then convert it to .ass, I use ‘Subtitle Edit’ to do the conversion to ass. Subtitle Edit has a bulk conversion mode as well. I now convert all my srt external subs to .ass as I think they just look nicer regardless if they have tags or not.
Clearly if a srt file is within a MKV file there is no way you can convert it in situ to ass or anything else without first extracting it.

 

Self evident you can’t convert any file within a MKV container in situ, you must first extract then convert and if you want the converted file to be embedded with in the MKV container that then involves remuxing. For me I use external subs most of the time.

 

Every gadget every problem
Video audio subs are one
Why must we convert???
GN all of you

 

Bump. Zidoo team please review this problem and implement a solution.

 

Forget it...

These are dreams that Zidoo cannot fulfill

 

I'll keep fighting the good fight and hoping.

 

“Why must we convert” ?

Well for me I don’t want to wait till hell freezes over before Zidoo gets to it if ever. In the meantime I believe in seizing the moment and do it myself.
